Ron Meeks Is New D-Coordinator

[Fiz]

im just pointing out consistently wrong you are v:)v

[KillerKat]

mathis and freeney both are the highest paid at their positions in league history, and mathis has a big contract as well lol

Are those two combined more than the contracts of Manning, Harrison, Wayne, Clark, Addai, and Saturday combined? I would probably think not...

Interesting hire. I definitely didn't even think he was on the radar.

I know very little about him though. Shall be interesting.

I am a fan of the Tampa 2 defense, and I think our linebackers are perfectly suited for such a defense. Not exactly my favorite defensive scheme, but it's solid. I hope Fox gives Meeks control for at LEAST a year. Let's see what he can do when he has the defensive reigns.

its a good hire. i dont know much about him but i know he here for one reason. and the reason to win. i wish him the best of luck...he has my support...

[Kse50]

I hope he uses CH like he used Bob Sanders to shut the run down. Chris is built for it.

As backwards as you logic has consistently been.....if you disagree, then I definitely is a good idea.

actually manning and harrison are the only big ones there. wayne's is very reasonable. addai costs nothing since he's still on his rookie contract and saturday is a free agent but was coming off a 6/19m which is very manageable. I don't have membership to the page that breaks down how cap hits work.

although i can promise you the "vast majority" of their cap isn't spent on their offense, which is what i was responding to.

Fox will tell Meeks exactly what defense he will run and what his options are for calls. Same as Trgovac. The only variable is whether he makes the right calls at the right times--but over the course of a game, this defense is going to look the same as it has the last 7 years. Why in the world would any of you think that this guy is going to have the authority to come in and tell the head coach, "We're going to play more man, we're going to blitz more"?

this isn't even english.

Chris is built for it.

bob sanders is incredibly fast. harris is slower than the last day of school.

damn our fanbase is so negative. give the man a shot before u crucify him. I hope that he comes in a does a great job, cuz i'd much rather enjoy a winning season instead of bitching about a losing one.

I'm not happy. Seems like more of the same to me.

I have a question I know no one can answer, but.....

I wonder who was the most instrumental in bringing in Meeks?

Fox, Hurney or The Richardson's.

[Highlandfire]

He never had the run stuffing DT's that we have. They chose to spend their cap space on offense and Dwight Freeney. He has never had the weapons the Panthers have...and still had good defenses.

Exactly! Thank you for being the voice of reason! Meeks hit the jackpot with the talent we have even without peppers. I will still say we need more pass rush from the front line (can address in the draft) and maybe an upgrade at OLB and we can run the Tampa 2 the way it was meant to be ran.

Look everyone is on the jock of the 3-4 defense right now, just like they were on the TAMPA 2 just a couple years ago. We go out and kick ass with the Tampa 2 and watch how many teams go back to it next offseason. Its a copy cat league.
